Spicy Air Fryer Salmon

Quick, spicy air-fried salmon with a creamy sriracha mayo glaze.
Prep Time3 minutes
Cook Time12 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 10 oz salmon fillets skin on or off
  • 1/4 cup Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha more or less to taste
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down (if skin is on) on a piece of parchment paper sized to fit your air fryer basket.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Kewpie mayo, sriracha, and sesame oil until smooth.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mayo-sriracha mixture evenly over each salmon fillet. Reserve any remaining sauce for serving.
  • Season the tops of the fillets with the salt and black pepper.
  • Place the parchment with the salmon into the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches your desired doneness.
  • Remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately, with the reserved sauce spooned over the top if desired.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Parchment Paper
  • Small Bowl

Notes

  • Salmon is safe at 145°F, but many prefer 130°F for a moister result.
